Validation of the Japanese version of the Clinical Frailty Scale.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimAmong the many screening tools developed to detect frailty and disability in older adults, the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a valid, reliable, and easy-to-use tool and has been translated into several languages. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the validity of the Japanese version of the CFS (CFS-J).
methodsThe necessary permissions were obtained from Rockwood and colleagues. The Japanese version was prepared by translation (English to Japanese) and verified by back translation (Japanese to English). Concurrent criterion validity was assessed by evaluating the extent to which CFS relates to the Frailty Index (FI), the Frailty Index based on a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (FI-CGA), and Performance Status (PS), using Kendall's tau.
resultsIn total, 223 patients admitted to the geriatric ward of an acute hospital between June 2021 and March 2023 were analyzed in the validation study. Mean age was 84.9 ± 5.9 years (range, 67-101 years), 128 (57.4%) were women, and the mean body mass index was 20.9 ± 4.0 kg/m
conclusionThe CFS-J was found to be a valid instrument for identifying frailty in Japanese inpatients. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 411-417.
